He and one other man dreamed a dream of Prince Rupert. They saw a major harbor through which the great .shins of the seas should pass, to a;nd from the Orient. This other man was Hayes, president of the Grand Trunk Railway. : And so, this quarantine station was built. The plans and construction were both magnificent, but there they ended, for fate stepped in. and with no compunction whatever, turned the tide of afrairs byjwo historic events. Slr Wilfrid Laurier was defeated in the election of 1911, ahd the great Titanic went down at sea in 1912. One who lost his le on that maiden voyage was Mr. Hayes. iWhat In Itself was a tragedy became doubly so when lt became apparent that Prince Ru-ijert, as a great western port, also sank beneath the waves with those who sang "Nearer My God T0 Thee." Ther? was no one to step Into Mr. Haye's place; no one. who cTired, or had enough political influence to fulfill earlier plans rln the spring of 1914, the first tfaln nulled Into Prince Runert on a Grand Trunk line. But a few years later this company lost its mentity in the Canadian National Railways. i All hat we have today of those years of intrigue Is this monu ment to defeat.

BIRDS ARE MOVED TO SONfi Frost has nipped the grass on all our hllU, For the blade or autumn is sure and sharp And keen. I feel again the freshness Of these hours, for this is a season That Is new and vigorous and strong. Touching the hillsides In color and flame. Making more intense the aroma of mints That permeates the pasturelands. O, but this Is a season of delight. One of brilliance and frost and wind; It quickens the heart; it links itself To summer with gold and silver strands; I clinjr to them, to the colored woods And hills, to the autumn melody of robin carols And bluebird notes: the birds are moved to song!

SOL'FFLESS AND WASHABLE Makers of a new plastic shoe claim It Is scuffless and will remain .shiny after washing with soap and Water. Liberal Originally Meant Reformer The word "liberal" In the sense !of generous or open-hearted was used 500 years before any one thought of giving it a political meaning. Its purely political meaning was acquired In rather a curious way, as Alan Bullock, fellow of New College, Oxford, recently explained In a BBC talk. In Spain. Napoleon's invasion was followed by a bitter civil war which lasted, off and cn. for 30 years. It Is from the name of one, of the parties In that civil war the Liberates that the political meaning of the word comes. The first time It was used in England in that Sense was In 1816 the year after Waterloo by Southey writing in the Quarterly Review, Southey used it as a Spanish word, written deliberately In italics, to refer to English reformers of the time, and the name stuck. .

Ham, retiring, Prince Rupert Junior Chamber : of Commerce president, in mak-: ing his president's report at the ( annual meeting last night at the i Boston Cafe dining hall. I The number of subjects men tioned in the official records for the past year had surprised him, said Mr. Ham, urging members to cHmb to greater heights in the 12 months ahead.

I Continuing his review, the re- ' tiring president said: 1 ' Last December the radio auc tson realized f.bout $5,000 for the aaivauon Army Christmas Cheer Fund and was unquestionably a successiui jaycee performance. "Participation in the National Membership Week In February was satisfactory, being made the occasion for a full newspaper page, radio broadcasts, a special d!nner meeting and church attendance. "Our members co-operation with the Kinsman Club May Queen celebration added $380 to that fund. AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKING 'Resumption of Port Day was probably our most ambitious undertaking and a very creditable showing. Co-incident with this item I include also our sponsoring of a Port Queen candidate and Civic Centre carnival "Our film ssrvice committee operated behind the scenes with little or no encouragement.
